This work is an outcome of a performance without audience participation. The artist put canvases one on top of another. At the top of the pile he placed a cup filled with blue paint. The paint trickled through the bottom of the cup, the spillage soaked up by the layers of canvas below. This resulted in an automatic composition. The essence of the work is in the activity, and the object is its record.
